The flatness of the 7 commentary in the last few minutes is remarkable really

Almost like every close win of ours during the season. Like… “sadly, these pr*cks have done it again…”

I've listened to the audio commentary from the radio calls on YT. Much prefer the radio commentary to the TV

 

[BigVic]

Beats the Channel 7 commentary

His commentary style is almost cartoonish or more suited to the WWE. How I wish Bruce or even Huddo was commentating our GF.

Huddo is part of the 3AW GF team. Tim Lane and Jimmy Bartel are there too. Excellent call by the 3AW team.

 

[NMBB]

JB especially. Hes usually over the top animated but sounded depressed when it was clear we'd win. There was a clear shift in his mindset from the moment Bruzzy KOd Angus

Wish he'd stop saying "trip" when he means distance. Think he also said on one occasion when a player went over the boundary line "he's run out of tarmac".

So I bought a 6-pack of the Collingwood Premiership Draught and they... were not bad! Is it a different recipe from normal Carlton Draught?

Anyway I took them to a BBQ of a group of friends, all from WA, so I could finally give them a taste of success at the end of the year ;-)

I am here for this shithousery.

Appropriate in horse racing but not AFL.

It will go down in Grand Final folklore. The Daicos Handpass! I'm not at all sure where the original of this came from. I came across it on X and asked a few questions, but never got anywhere. Anyway, it's too good not to share. if anybody knows about its provenance, please let me know.

I'm hoping Santa understands my love for this and acts accordingly.

Get someone to throw a footy up the air and see how hard it is to grab it at the highest point and hit a moving target with a hand pass in mid air. Oh yeah and add 100,000 observers in the last few minutes of a Grand Final. Phenomenal

I don't know who that Brisbane player behind him is but I hope it's Berry. It would cap off a magnificent game for him.

Pretty sure it was Lachie Neale.

I thought it was pretty unprofesssional the way Richo carried on about the advantage call.

I hope that gets edited out of any future replays.

I love watching the flog Rayner rough up WHE after the Bailey goal for no reason and later in the quarter he handballs it right to WHE who sets up a goal

What a non-event Rayner was in the GF.

I was expecting him to be one of their best.

Nick was at the centre bounce, then, in the blink of an eye, he was here doing this!
Sheer bloody genius!
Jordy's take and goal was not too shabby either.
And this straight after Brisbane goaled and potentially raised ghosts of GFs past.

The hand of God aka the handball that won us the GF.

Gee, it would've been tough viewing for the Brisbane mids watching back the footage of this set play.

Aren't we always the hunted anyway?

True, but there's extra spice being the 'Reigning Premiers'

The feeling of descending gloom as we looked like we might blow another GF, but before the fear was able to fully set in, sheer ectasy as we immediately regained the lead.

That we lost the lead and regained it and hung on to win, made the victory more special.

After that last Lions goal, I've never prayed so hard at a game of footy, lol. That sinking, gut wrenching, sickening feeling of 'no, not again, this can't be happening'...

No clue who I was praying to, the footy gods, I think, as I'm definitely not religious.

The most famous and significant passage of play in Pies Grand Finals. That was after Cameron kicked the goal which put the Lions in front but the lead was short-lived with Nick > De Goey. The ghosts of close grand final losses in 1964, 1966, 1970, 1979, 2002 and 2018 were erased and the Colliwobbles buried forever.
